Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is a lot of diversity on campus. People come from all over the country to attend Mizzou's prestigious journalism program, and with that, the University gets a lot of people from different races, economic statuses, and religious backgrounds.

Everyone seems to be treated well on campus. The University has an LGBT group as well as religiously affiliated groups. International students are very prominent, as well. Usually, international students stay on campus and live in the same dorm, but they assimilate well into campus life and the downtown social scene. Overall, students are tolerant and accepting of others' views, religions, races, and sexual preferences.

Improving Every Year

Although Mizzou is still mainly white, they have made ample effort to make sure all students feel welcomed and comfortable. It doesn't matter if you are white, black, gay, straight, male, or female, there are resources available to help everyone fit in.

Seems to Reflect Society in General

There are people of many different races and religions at Mizzou, however my circles have not put me in very many diverse situations. However, I have interacted with many more diverse students than I had previous to college. My classes are also all quite diverse.

Diverse but Not Really

The amount of diversity that we have on Mizzou's campus is staggering, but the thing that I don't like is that the people on campus are very "clique-ish". Meaning that they stay with their own ethnicity and you don't normally see anyone branch out and learn about other cultures.

Facts

Gay Pride

The Board of Curators recently added sexual orientation to their non-discrimination policy. Widespread hate crimes, intimidation, and violence against gays have never been reported.

Political Activity

There are political clubs for any political leaning, but some are more active than others. The College Republicans attract big-name speakers to lecture, while the College Democrats are kind of in a rut. There are also clubs available for Libertarian or Green Party-leaning students (sorry, no Reform Party club yet). Left-of-center groups attract a lot of attention with demonstrations and publicity stunts once in a while, like when a new war breaks out.

Economic Status

Since the majority of students who come to Mizzou is from the state of Missouri, an economically diverse state, there is a rather economically diverse student body. There are a lot of students who come from the St. Louis and Kansas City suburbs, as well as people who have a more modest upbringing in rural parts of the state.

Most Common Religions

Christianity is the most prominent religion at Mizzou.

Minority Clubs on Campus

Legion of Black Collegians is the most active club for African Americans on campus. They have a lot of events and activities for black students on campus.
